CAS 5442-35-3
:2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-ethoxyphenol
Description:
2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-ethoxyphenol, with the CAS number 5442-35-3, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phenolic antioxidants. It is characterized by its bulky tert-butyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions of the aromatic ring, which enhance its stability and hinder oxidation. The presence of the ethoxy group at the 4 position contributes to its solubility in organic solvents and its overall reactivity. This compound is typically a white to light yellow crystalline solid, exhibiting low volatility and a relatively high melting point. It is known for its effectiveness in preventing the degradation of polymers and other materials by scavenging free radicals, thus extending the lifespan of products in which it is used. Additionally, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-ethoxyphenol is utilized in various industrial applications, including plastics, rubber, and food packaging, due to its antioxidant properties. However, like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care, considering potential health and environmental impacts.
